The Last Kingdom was so good that they can make a series for each character. There is so much history here with each of the main characters like Sigtruggr, Ragnar, Cnut, etc.
That would be Amazing. Unfortunately for whatever Dumba$$ reason, Netflix scrapped 2 more seasons and decided to end it with the Film 7 Kings Must Die. It definitely wasn't a ratings or money Issue. I've watched the seasons several times, especially to fall asleep too. Also there's not much source material to work with for all of them but a fantastic writing team could fix that.
The Last Kingdom did a fascinating job of pairing Sigtryggr with Uhtred. The biggest failure of the movie/finale is not showing Sigtryggr in the Halls of Valhalla at the end. He really was the mirror and kin to Uhtred in the show. I think there was more to explore there, but like most stories it had to be contained. Shame though because Sigtryggr certainly has a fascinating story to tell and worked great (story wise) with Uhtred. I hope more people dig into him
Is the movie out now? I completely agree with you on all points and when watching I was like "hey that's Not what happened to him" but the series is Amazing. #2 out of my top 3 favorite's.
I really enjoy your videos Man learning the true history rather than relying on the shows. Thank you for these videos so I can understand the true history of these individual people who lived.
Also Wexford in Ireland. In Kilkenny Ireland there's a Viking Cave found not so long ago. Viking Skeletal Remains were found. It's now open to the Public.
@@FlaviusConstantinus306 My Surname Doyle in Irish it's Ní Dhuill which means Dark Haired Blue Eyed Strangers. That's what the Celts called the Vikings when they landed in Wexford as the Celts didn't know who they were 🤣🤣
If you look him up he was called Boneless because of his cruelty and they found his bones in a pit of like 250 other people. They estimate him to be 9ft tall. The Vikings show did that for dramatic purposes. In real life he would have been left to die just like Ragnar tried to do.
@@TonyMezaXD True, 😂 but I get weird looks at Walmart here in the Bible Belt south Georgia when I wear my mjölnir in public. Gods forbid I say the words pagan let alone norse pagan.
There's a story of how Ivar was buried near Hastings. William the bastard dig him up years later and scattered his remains as the superstitious Normans Ivar would haunt them for abandoning the old Gods. Also there are two records for Rollo and in one he is grandson of Bjorn (Gongu Hrolfr - Rollo the Walker). The other has him as an exile from Denmark who got in trouble with Harald Finehair after he stole Harald s cattle
Same... Sitric is my direct ancestor and then Olaf Cuaran, Sitric Silkbeard, his son Olaf and Olaf's daughter Ragnild. Ragnild married into the royalty of Gwynedd in North Wales.
I have Viking grandparents. Sigtryggr is about a 30th grandfather to me if I have my tree right lol🫨 I’ve got some researching to do to make 100% sure. But if I’m right, I guess it could be why I love Viking shows 🤪😅
I watched all of the last kingdom on Netflix and I enjoyed the amazing work on the show and I heard that Netflix is going to do the last kingdom movies
Sihtric would never submit to the anglo saxons. If he hadnt died he would surely have expanded the danelaw. Why u think athelstan felt the need to give his own sister in marriage to a godless pagan?? Sihtric was too crafty and mighty a warrior for athelstan to handle on the battlefield.
Ever since Wessex began its expansion into the Danelaw it was unstoppable. No Viking kings could stand in its way, many tried and they died in battle. He was king of York, the Anglo-Saxons would’ve successfully besieged the city like they did to many others and he would’ve been killed or exiled. Here you’re talking about Æthelstan being no match for him on the battlefield... Æthelstan defeated a huge alliance of Scots, Britons and Vikings at Brunanburh in 937.
@@ML-bw4yt well if u did ur research u would know that the viking lines held firm at brunanburh.. it was the scots which gave way and olaf had to fall back if he was to avoid outflanking. Besides athelstans brother was defeated in a great battle at leicester by olaf in 940. All anglo saxon gains in 50 years was reversed by olaf in one battle.
Niall of the 9 hostages was almost 500 years earlier. The Niall in this video is Niall Glendub. From the same dynasty, but different person and period.
I think the boneless label was from a theoretical name like maybe he never got hurt or got hurt alot n didn't combine but I font think he was cripple like yhe show n the dates of all these shows r off alot
I read conflicting reports on Ivar the boneless and his ability or inability to have children. Somewhere is the truth, but we may never know. So I take it all with a grain of salt still it’s good story telling
Barid the eldest then Sigtryggr, Sigfroth and a daughter who married the Jarl of Aarhus. He had three more sons but they are not mentioned in Crusader Kings 3😂
@@caniblmolstr4503 did it say that in this video?!🤦🏼♀️🤣 I wouldn't be surprised if I missed it. But all the other ones I watch about this time period never mention his children, just this grandson., and his dad, obviously.
@@PNWCagey-Dub Only the three I mentioned are important anyways as after Ivar these three ruled lands in their own right (The Hebrides, Lothian and Dublin respectively)
I don't believe Ivar The Boneless had anything to do with his physical condition, I believe he would possibly remove bones or skinned his enemys, who knows the sagas don't explain why he took on that nickname, just how ruthless he was?🗡🪓🩸

Seriously, I'd love to see Siggtryger during his origin story see his grandfather Ivar, and look up to him and become inspired
@@Bobby__B I would love to see that as well. "When you fight, you fight with one heart!"

Ivar couldn't have been that "boneless" if he ended up with this many descendants!
I believe he was dubbed, "The Boneless" due to his illness of brittle bone disease, and not as a besmirching of his virility.
😝
@@coronasboringdothething54
Well perhaps his enemies meant to try to demasculate him :)
He gave each woman a bone and died boneless

Amazing story! Your narration is spotless and great to enjoy. Welcome back History Profiles! Thank you. My apologies for being later, some issues here
An amazing story from Sigfeider, Thanks foe this awesome video productions.
I've watched this a few times...laying on my Sigtryggr blanket. Lol. I got it on Etsy.. He is my fave Viking. Eysteinn Sigurdarson plays him so well.
Thanks for another really great video, so interesting to learn about Sitric
Thank you so much BC
I absolutely LOVE this show (The Last Kingdom) currently and fell immediately in love with Sygtryggr, as did Stiorra. 💕💫 Totally my type of guy, lol.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching !
I enjoy all of your videos! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching !
I love this channel. ❤
Thank you so much it means a lot
No documentary source Irish or English refers to Ivarr as the Boneless until three hundred years after his death.
I have sitric and his brother Ragnall in my family tree. 😊
That’s amazing !
So many people you talk about is in my tred. Its crazy how small the world is 😊

Would you consider doing a video on Egil Skallagrimmarson? He’s in the Saxon Stories’ books but was cut from the show
LOVE Egil's character in the books!!
I watched all of the last kingdom on Netflix and I enjoyed the amazing work on the show and I heard that Netflix is going to do the last kingdom movies
The Last Kingdom is sooo much better than the “new” Vikings Valhalla show

Celtic has a hard “c” as in candle. It’s the football team that is pronounced Seltic.

The Niall you speak of in this video...Are you referring to Niall of the 9 Hostages?
Niall of the 9 hostages was almost 500 years earlier. The Niall in this video is Niall Glendub. From the same dynasty, but different person and period.
Ivar the boneless had seven son its in the saxon Chronicles
Ivar is named Ivar Exosus in that book or Ivar the Cruel. Ex Osus does mean without bones though hence the mischaracterization
Why you showing Ubba's photo whenever you say Ragnar lol
The name Niall is not pronounced like 'Ni-all', it's pronounced Nile like the River Nile. Good video 👍
“His cousin, or possibly brother…” … or possibly both. 😂
I think the boneless label was from a theoretical name like maybe he never got hurt or got hurt alot n didn't combine but I font think he was cripple like yhe show n the dates of all these shows r off alot
